For some reason New Mexico thing that it is a native dish because some one started serving it in the 1960's. But since there are articles in Texas newspapers going back to the 1940's with the recipe, I'm going to have to say it is a Texas invention.

On a semi-related note, as much as CNN provides ample evidence that they really don't know what the hell they're doing, they don't appear to be messing with Bourdain's show. I haven't seen the New Mexico episode yet, but the others come off as a more mature version of No Reservations.

Bourdain didn't upset the entire state, he just pissed off the owner of the store where he got the Frito pie because he (probably accurately) described the chili and cheese it was made with. He also said it was delicious.If the ingredients are good it sounds like a perfectly good meal.

1) Made the same joking observation about how it looks, usually at a high school football game after getting it at a concession stand.2) Knows it's an imported Texas thing.

I suppose there could be some very recent transplants up in Santa Fe who can't distinguish what's from here, and what's from elsewhere. They're the sort who would probably think the same thing about homecoming mums.

Sticking Hatch green chiles in everything is the big deal everyone pats themselves on the back for around here.

I'm sorry you can't pick on Paula Deen anymore for being a hypocritical diabetic butterslut because everyone else has already battered her to bits for being a racist. I was going to suggest picking on that guy who keeps going around to family run diners and shovelling 12 pound burgers down his gullet while massaging the grease all over his body and moaning. But he's gone and lost 60 pounds because he'd realised he'd turned into the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
